Sweet Flash Marriage with the Restrained Tycoon (Isabelle and Damien) novel Chapter 825

Chapter 825 Getting Ready

Claudia breathed out, a little guilty. “Honestly, I completely forgot about all of you.” Even now, the memories still hadn’t come back.

“It’s alright. Everything worked out in the end, right?” Harold sighed, relieved himself.

“I’m sorry for snapping at you earlier.”

“That was snapping? Felt more like you had me right where you wanted me.” Harold couldn’t help but chuckle.

Claudia laughed softly. “What if I really did get mad?”

“Mad? I’d toss you overboard and let the fish have a snack. No getting mad on my watch–not allowed.” He took her hand and led her toward the yacht.

“You’re terrible. And here I was about to say something nice about you.”

Harold couldn’t even guess what kind of compliment she might offer. “What I meant was, if I ever make you mad, you can throw me in the ocean and feed me to the fish.”

Claudia smiled at that.

A man in a light blue suit was leaning against the railing nearby. As they passed, his ear twitched slightly. He glanced briefly at Claudia before turning away as if nothing had happened.

Claudia happened to look his way too but didn’t give it much thought.

“Mr. Cross,” Howard greeted them on the deck, accompanied by a female assistant.

The assistant was wheeling a suitcase and held a key card in her hand. She addressed Harold, “The banquet begins in one hour, Mr. Cross. Here is your room key.”

“I’ll take it. You two go ahead.” Harold accepted the key card and the suitcase.

Howard gave the assistant a nod, and they both withdrew.

Claudia followed Harold inside.

Holding her hand with one hand and pulling the suitcase with the other, Harold walked with her into the elevator.

“Are we staying here tonight?” Claudia asked.

The corner of his mouth lifted slowly. “Do you want to stay?”

“Well…” She nearly said “it doesn’t matter“, but then changed her mind. “Yes.”

Harold seemed pleased with her answer. He unlocked the door to the suite.

“This suite is kept on reserve for Harvey,” he explained. “We’re attending tonight’s banquet in his place. Whether we stay over or not, this room is always here for him.”

Claudia stepped inside.

It was a presidential suite. Her eyes were immediately drawn to the massive floor–to–ceiling window overlooking the ocean, with a swimming pool right beside it.

Gazing out at the endless coastline, she murmured, “The sunrise from here must be incredible.”

Harold put the luggage away and walked over. He slipped his arms around her waist from behind, drawing her close, and rested his chin on top of her head.

“I have a business trip tomorrow afternoon. Want to come along?” He kissed her hair lightly.

Claudia hesitated. Darren had also mentioned the day before that he might need her to accompany him on a work trip.

“I might have some things to take care of.” She placed her hands over his, which were wrapped around her waist.

“That’s fine. Our wedding leave is already approved anyway. We can take a real vacation then and just enjoy ourselves.”

“Okay.” Claudia nodded and leaned back into him.

A sense of calm washed over her suddenly. She began to look forward to their life together.

Being held like this in Harold’s arms–it felt perfectly safe.

“Want to try on the dress?” Harold asked.

“Yes.”

While Claudia changed, Harold took a shower.

He’d worked up a sweat during the day.

By the time he stepped out, Claudia had just finished touching up her makeup and was standing by the floor–to–ceiling window, taking in the night view.

Harold had a towel wrapped around his waist. He dried his hair briefly as he walked toward her.

The fitted black dress hugged her slender frame perfectly.

The hem fell just to her knees, leaving her long, straight legs bare. The sleeveless cut showed off her lean arms under the city’s glow.

She looked delicate, but there were gentle curves where it mattered.

Harold’s eyes drifted to her waist. Back in the elevator that one time, he’d circled it loosely with his hands.

It was so small he could almost span it with one palm.

Soft, too. One gentle squeeze and she’d blush uncontrollably.

Claudia hadn’t noticed him behind her. When she turned, she walked right into his chest.

He caught her by the waist.
